Not Worth It
Spent: $3,000 in Brentwood, California

I had this done all around my mouth because of wrinkles.It took the wrinkles off OK but now I lost all color in that area & my skin is pure white & the rest of my face is a pink cast. I look like a freak.Have to cover it with makeup every day. This was done 2006.Don't know what kind of laser that was used.



Updated on 12 Feb 2011:
I am still unhappy with how my face looks with white skin all around my mouth & chin area. Too late now. Didn't realize this would happen. I wasn't told. Its a burn scar pure & simple. The color won't come back. 02/12/2011 Sorry with this report but its true.

I have to say yes & no on this, wrinkles are gone but so is the color in my skin.

That isn't a burn. You have hypopigmentation. Your doctor should have forewarned you during the consultation that EVERYBODY is at risk for hypo/hyperpigmentation.
